Hi I want to include the plugin installation as part of automation scripts which will install the elastic nodes & install the plugins. In the ES documentation, I dont see any option for forcing to accept "y" or dont prompt for y/n or by default install it. root@ip-205-2-40:/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins# sh /tmp/install\_s3rep.sh -\> Downloading file:///root/repository-s3-5.2.2.zip [=================================================] 100% @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: plugin requires additional permissions @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ - java.lang.RuntimePermission accessDeclaredMembers - java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader - java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission suppressAccessChecks See [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/permissions.html](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/permissions.html) for descriptions of what these permissions allow and the associated risks.

You can pass the `--batch` flag. ---

Thanks. It worked with the --batch flag. It will be nice if they update in the documentation. ---

It is documented if you ask for help from the `install` command: ```auto $ elasticsearch-plugin install --help Install a plugin The following official plugins may be installed by name: analysis-icu analysis-kuromoji analysis-phonetic analysis-smartcn analysis-stempel analysis-ukrainian discovery-azure-classic discovery-ec2 discovery-file discovery-gce ingest-attachment ingest-geoip ingest-user-agent mapper-murmur3 mapper-size repository-azure repository-gcs repository-hdfs repository-s3 store-smb x-pack Non-option arguments: plugin id Option Description ------ ----------- -E Configure a setting -b, --batch Enable batch mode explicitly, automatic confirmation of security permission -h, --help show help -s, --silent show minimal output -v, --verbose show verbose output ``` ---

Thanks. I meant, in the documentation where they given information about installing plugin i.e at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3.html) As per the plugin help o/p there is no information about help on command too.. Syntax should have been elasticsearch-plugin [command] --help|plugin-name root@ip-205-2-40:/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin# ./elasticsearch-plugin --help A tool for managing installed elasticsearch plugins ## Commands list - Lists installed elasticsearch plugins install - Install a plugin remove - Removes a plugin from elasticsearch Non-option arguments: command Option Description * * * -h, --help show help -s, --silent show minimal output -v, --verbose show verbose output root@ip-205-2-40:/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin# thanks anyways for the information. ---
